PERSONAL HYGIENE
(students and instructors)
We share (barefooted) floor space, equipment and come in physical contact with
one another therefore it is VERY IMPORTANT that we
follow these personal hygiene actions.
SFTKD has never had a case of athlete’s foot or Plantar
warts directly associated with training here. We want to keep it that way.
- Come to class with clean hands, feet, face and hair
- Be sure finger and toe nails are clean and neatly trimmed at all times
- Apply underarm deodorant before class
- DO NOT use heavily scented perfumes or colognes before coming to the DoJang.
- If you have warts, sores, or cuts on your hands they must be bandaged ore otherwise covered so as to not spread infection.
- If you have plantar warts, athlete’s feet, cuts or sores on your feet they too must be bandaged and you must wear suitable foot gear.
- If you have Poison Ivy, Sumac or some other like issue please do not participate in class until you can no longer spread it.
- If you have MRSA, Strep, Pink Eye, heavy cold or some other communicable disease please do not attend class.
- DO NOT DRINK FROM SOMONE ELSE’S BOTTLE OR SHARE FOOD THEY HAVE ALREADY BEGUN EATING.
